““Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.””

- R U M I

““A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.””

For ever, as he thought,

The bridge secure was made,

Upraised; the gates shut fast;

light and dark, of sunrise and sunset, of clouds and vapors.

“If you imagine less, less will be what you undoubtedly deserve. Do what you love, and don’t stop until you get what you love. Work as hard as you can, imagine immensities, don’t compromise, and don’t waste time. Start now. Not 20 years from now, not two weeks from now. Now.”

- Debbie Millman

So be very kind
Don’t let the world, fall on your shoulders
If so oh hopefully
I would find, I would find you again

I’ll cry with you honey if you need me to
Dry your tears, dry your tears for you
There is no crime, there is no crime
You and I were meant to live our dreams

Don’t try too hard to catch the winds,
Where they are going and where they have been,
Don’t try to outrun what the winds are showin’,
Just gotta give in to where they are blowin’,

Iron & Wine, “Joy”

Deep inside the heart of this crazy mess, I’m only calm when I get lost within your wilderness.
